such is What Death Loves. as En-
empiified in Miss Minnie Glenn's
Demise sketch of Her Life and
Final sickness.
The Monmouth Gazette of last evening
contains the following in reference to the
death of Miss Minnie Glenn, daugh-
ter of Judge ]. J. Glenn, of the circuit
court, and lady so much esteemed in
Rock Island:
With the Sabbath morning came the
news of Miss Minnie Glenn's death, Up
on that day, which she had so delighted
to remember and keep holy she was called
to the world beyond. She had been away
from home, having gone to Carthage to
visit, aud was there taken ILL., For weeks
anxious watchers have been in attend
ance by her bedside aud daily messages
from there have been awaited by no less
anxious friends in Monmouth, the city
that has always been her home. But all
this watching and anxiety made no prepa-
ration for the announcement that she was
dead. II came like sudden shock. The
quiet of one Sabbath day was given deep
soemnity by the sorrowful udlngs
Miss Minnie was the daughter of Judge
and Mrs. Glenn. who with two other
daughters Annie and Addie, and two sons
Mac and VIII, constitute the surviving
and bereaved family. 1t is sorrowtul to
think of the bereayed home darkened by
cloud of sorrow and in which the press
ence of beloved daughter and sister is
supplanted by an enshrincd memory of
the dead; TO think of the dntlug and de-
voted father stricken down in grief, of
the loving mother mourning for one who
had been her care and Joy and Of tue
brothers and sisters whose early years
had been passed in the company of one
dear to them by ties of brotherly and sis
terly affection, but who has now been
taken from them forever. But sympathy
is all the many friends who sorrow with
them can offer. Their consolation must
come from higher power.
Miss Minnie was 90 years old. She
was loved by all the young people with
whom she had associated and who mourn
her loss as they would that of sister.
Hers was gentle. genial disposition, and
vivacity made her company pleasure.
Moreover she was accomplished and the
institutions of the city in which she had
received huT training took pride IN those
c0mphshments. One year ago last
spring Miss Minnie graduated from Mon
mouth college and she was beloved aud
honored by the students aud instructors
or that institution.
There are among her young lady asso
ciates those who mourn her loss AS they
would Of one with whom they had always
lived, 50 greatly was she beloved by them
and It is natural that one SO widely loved
should be as widely mourncd.
Miss Minnie's death was caused by ty-
phoid fever. with which she was attacked
while visiting friends at Carthage. She
bore up bravely under the disease, and
finally died Of exhaustion. The physl-
clans think that the nerves OF the stOm-
sch were p4ralyzed and thus assimilation
of the food was prevented
The remains were brought to the city
last evening accompanied by the be
reaved family, Six young gentlemen Of
Carthage, Thomas Dunn, Gay Davidson,
| JOab Green, T Ferris, Junus Forris and
Luther Huhbs acted AS pail bearers, com
| ing as far as Burlington. At that point,
through the kindness of Mr. W c.
Brown, IA special tain was provided to
bring to Mon3ouIh the rgma'ns aud the
sorrowing family who were J"ined by Mr.
